Subscribe to a feed to keep your community informed with
up-to-the minute information from a website without leaving the community
page. Any member of a community can add a feed.
About this task
You can only add publicly available feeds to a community.
An administrator may make certain feed sources trusted – for example,
feeds from other IBM® Connections
applications – in which case the authenticated feeds from these sources
display. However, by default, authenticated feeds are not allowed.
Procedure
Follow these steps to add a feed to your community.
- Find a feed that you want to subscribe to. For
example, go to the IBM Syndicated Feeds web page
and choose one of the IBM feeds.
- Right-click the feed icon and copy the link URL. This
image is one type of feed icon
, but there are
many variations.- In Microsoft Internet
Explorer, right-click and choose Copy Shortcut.
- In Mozilla Firefox, right-click and choose Copy
Link Location.
- From any community for which you are a member, click Feeds in
the navigation pane.
- Click Add Feed to open the Add
Feed form.
- Paste the web address of the feed into the Feed field.
- Complete the Add Feed form and click Save.
What to do next
If you get a 403 error when you try to access the feed, this
might be because your administrator has configured your deployment
to prevent access to URLs outside this product. Contact the administrator
for more information.
